THE BLOODY HISTORY OF HAITI
For those, who like Kerry and Edwards, argue that Haiti's latest outburst of anarchic, political violence began with George W. Bush, I recommend they read this.
UPDATE:
Tristero has a link to a description of Aristide's removal from power by American troops.
UPDATE II.
Pentagon denies removing Aristide.
ZENPUNDIT ANALYSIS:
If Aristide had stayed there would have been a bloody street battle during which he'd have been killed or he would have fled leaving his followers to be massacred afterwards. He's a complete nut and a thug. His opponents are thugs, drug dealers and fascists. Haiti is a good candidate for a revival of UN trusteeship on a longer term version of the East Timor model.
